Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wind turbine, and more particularly to a wind turbine, in which the assembly of a rotor and a stator of a generator with a main shaft connecting a turbine rotor and the generator is completed only by assembling the rotor of the generator with the main shaft without assembling the stator of the generator with the main shaft.
  • a wind turbine generate electricity using the power of a turbine rotor, which is rotated by wind.
  • a wind turbine is configured such that a tower 1 is installed at a designated height above the ground and a turbine rotor 3 having a plurality of rotating blades 32 and a generator 4 are connected by a main shaft 2 above the tower 1 so as to transmit the rotary power of the turbine rotor 3 to the generator 4 through the main shaft 2.
  • the plurality of rotating blades 32 is fixed along the circumferential surface of a rotor hub 31 formed at the front end of the main shaft 2 by blade fixtures 33.
  • the blade fixtures 33 use a conventional method, such as bolt fastening.
  • the turbine rotor 3 and the generator 4 are connected by the main shaft 2, and a main frame 7 is rotated on the axis of the tower 1 by the power of a motor.
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view illustrating the internal structure of a conventional wind turbine.
  • the generator 4 includes a stator 411 and a rotor 412, which are spaced from each other by a designated interval, and the main shaft 2, both ends of which are supported by a front bearing 5 and a rear bearing 6, is divided into a turbine shaft 2a and a generator shaft 2b, which are connected by a flange joint 2c.
  • the rotor 412 is connected to the generator shaft 2b and is rotated together with the rotation of the generator shaft 2, and generates electricity due to the electrical action with the stator 411.
  • stator 411 and the rotor 412 to the generator shaft 2b Both ends of the generator shaft 2b are supported by electric bearings 413, a stator housing 411a is connected to the electric hearings 413, and a rotor body 412a is connected directly to the generator shaft 2b.
  • the main shaft 2 is divided into the turbine shaft 2a and the generator shaft 2b, which are connected by the flange joint 2c, as described above, and thus causes a loss in transmission of rotational torque.
  • the conventional wind turbine is not provided with any unit for preventing the above counter torque caused by the short, thus having many defects, such as damage to the wind turbine, shortening of the life span of the wind turbine, and a difficulty in maintenance and repair of the wind turbine.
  • the conventional wind turbine does not have a self-aligning function of the main shaft, and thus causes inaccuracy in power transmission and operation due to the misalignment and the tilting of the main shaft.
  • WO 2004/027260 discloses a wind turbine with a turbine rotor, which is connected to a rotor shaft. At an end of the rotor shaft opposite to the turbine rotor, a transmission is arranged. At the output side of this transmission there is an output shaft to which a rotor of a generator is connected with a connection wheel therebetween.

  • the wind turbine in accordance with the present invention is configured in the same manner as the conventional wind turbine. That is, a tower 1 is installed at a designated height above the ground and a turbine rotor 3 having a plurality of rotating blades 32 and a generator 4 are connected by a main shaft 2 above the tower 1 so as to transmit the rotary power of the turbine rotor 3 to the generator 4.
  • the plurality of rotating blades 32 is fixed along the circumferential surface of a rotor hub 31 formed at the front end of the main shaft 2 by blade fixtures 33.
  • the blade fixtures 33 use a conventional method, such as bolt fastening.
  • the turbine rotor 3 and the generator 4 are connected by the main shaft 2, and a main frame 7 is rotated on the axis of the tower 1 by the power of a motor.
  • a rotor 42 is connected to the main shaft 2 composed of an integral shaft 20, and a stator 41 is assembled with the rotor 42 by means of a stator housing 41a. Therefore, the assembly of the stator 41 and the rotor 42 with the main shaft 2 is achieved only by assembling the rotor 42 with the main shaft 2.
  • a pair of electric bearings 43 is disposed at the outer surface of the rotor bearing 42a, and the stator housing 41a is fixed to bearing housings 43a of the electric bearings 43, thereby integrating the stator 41 and the rotor 42 into one body such that they can be rotated against each other.
  • the assembly of the stator 41 with the main shaft 2 and the assembly of the rotor 42 with the main shaft 2 are simultaneously achieved only by assembling the rotor 42 with the main shaft 2 without a separate process for assembling the stator 41 with the main shaft 2.
  • the wind turbine of the present invention assures high efficiency and convenience in assembly.
  • the rotor bearing 42a includes a shrink disc 44 for cutting off the connection between the main shaft 2 and the rotor 42 in such a case.
  • the shrink disc 44 as shown in FIG. 4 , includes a stationary disc 44a fixed to the outer surface of the rotor bearing 42a and a movable disc 44c fastened to the outer surface of the stationary disc 44a by bolts 44e.
  • the stationary disc 44a and the movable disc 44c are respectively provided with an incline plane 44b and an opponent incline plane 44d, which contact each other.
  • the main shaft 2 is rotatably supported by front and rear bearings 5 and 6.
  • the front bearing 5 is composed of a toroidal roller bearing 61
  • the rear bearing 6 is composed of a spherical roller bearing 60, thus compensating for the misalignment and the tilting of the main shaft 2.
  • This is achieved by self-aligning and axial directional compensating properties of the commonly-known toroidal roller bearing 61, which includes an outer wheel having a spherical raceway, an inner wheel, and rolling elements connected to the inner wheel.
  • non-described reference numeral 8 represents a shaft housing.
  • the generator 4, as shown in FIG. 1 is supported by the shaft housing 8 using a supporter 91.
  • the supporter 91 is connected to the generator 4 by dampers 9.
  • the damper 9 as shown in FIG. 5 , includes a support axis 93 formed integrally with the outer surface of the generator 4, a damper body 92 connected to the supporter 91, and a vibration absorbing rubber 94 provided between the support axis 93 and the damper body 92.
  • the generator 4 as shown in FIG. 2 , includes the rotor 42 installed at the main shaft 2 and the stator 41 fixed to the inside of the stator housing 41a, and generates electricity by means of the rotation of the rotor 42.
  • the stator housing 41a is supported so as not to be affected by the torque of the rotor 42.
  • the stator housing 41a is supported by the shaft housing 8 by the supporter 91, and the above-described dampers 9 are provided between the supporter 91 and the stator housing 41a so as to exclude vibration and noise transmitted through the stator housing 8.
  • the rotary power of the turbine rotor 3 is transmitted to the rotor bearing 42a through the main shaft 2 composed of the integral shaft 20. Then, since the electric bearings 43 are interposed between the rotor bearing 42a and the stator housing 41a, the rotor 42 is rotated against the stator 41.
  • the shrink disc 44 which cuts off the connection between the rotor bearing 42a and the main shaft 2 when the rotary power of the main shaft 2 exceeds a designated pressure, prevents damage to the overall system due to overload.
  • the front bearing 5 is composed of the toroidal roller bearing 61 and the rear bearing 6 is composed of the spherical roller bearing 60, thus compensating for the misalignment and the tilting of the main shaft 2.
  • the present invention provides a wind turbine, in which the assembly of a rotor and a stator of a generator with a main shaft connecting a turbine rotor and the generator is completed only by assembling the rotor of the generator with the main shaft without assembling the stator of the generator with the main shaft, thus improving convenience and efficiency in assembly.
  • the wind turbine of the present invention includes a shrink disc cutting off the connection between the main shaft and the rotor, when counter torque is generated by over-current due to a short of the generator and the rotary power of the main shaft exceeds a designated torque, thus preventing damage to the overall system due to overload. Thereby, it is possible to assure the safety of the wind turbine and improve the performance and reliability of the wind turbine.
  • the wind turbine of the present invention uses an integral shaft as the main shaft and a toroidal roller spring having a self-aligning function and a spherical roller spring as bearings for rotatably supporting the main shaft, thereby compensating for the misalignment and the tilting of the main shaft and thus improving accuracy in operation.
